8.10pm: Julie Springett, Fire and Rescue Fire Prevention Officer and BHS Herts Chair
FIRE, be safe not sorry! The talk will cover the reality of how devastating fire can be to your equestrian life, whether it might be your stables, or your horse transport catching fire whilst travelling. The talk will cover realistic and easy steps you can take to prevent fire and also what to do in an emergency. Julie explained: “We all go through life thinking ‘it won’t happen to me’ but what if it does? Sadly, stable fires are on the increase and, scarily, 49% of rural fires last year were set deliberately. Would you know how to save your horses? Are your horses protected from arsonists? I will talk the audience through all they need to know.”
